Best track off Technique :evil4:

at first listen can be mistaken for a novelty, but really it shows their creativity and ability to lay down some funked up beats. others will be tempted to choose love less, obviously the track with the strongest lyrics.

Round and Round is the best song from Techinque, but my personal fav is Mr. Disco....

I agree completely

This is an old poll, and i put Mr. Disco a few months back, but i change my vote to Dream Attack now

Run!!!

:)

well, hardest thing to say for me....technique is my favorite NO album.

i love it all..from fine time to dream attack!!

I voted for Dream Attack offcourse! That´s been a favourite track of all times all bands.

I never understood the charm of Run, yet alone it being a single. It is pretty enjoyable in the end though. Didn´t care much for Loveless nor All The Way either. But Technique is still a grand masterpiece. The original form to Electronic LP and Raise The Pressure.

Why they didn´t release Vanishing Point and Dream Attack as singles from this album is beyond me. Two masterpieces that could easily had conquered the rest of the World. Well too late to cry for that now.

VANISHING POINT AND ROUND & ROUND, both are the best songs of technique for mi...

Voted for Vanishing Point but also love Run, Fine Time, Dream Attack and Mr Disco. Why I and others like Technique is a bit unexplainable but I supoose its one of those albums when you play it from start to end the hairs on your back rise up. Cheers!

Hey! Just because I'm not a FAC383, I should not be considered a non-believer.

That wasn't the point I was making.

I never said you're a non-believer if you like Technique, but I did say Technique is probably their most accessible album for those who genuinely are non-believers.

Nic, however, said Technique was their best album according to most of their fans which, from personal experience, I'd beg to differ.

Yeah, but Al wouldn't you say Technique is kinda climax to what the earlier albums seemed to head towards?.... Am I being clear? Don't you think Technique kinda closes the cycle? Whatever came next, Republic? Nothing's been the same since, nor have they been back there. You listen to those earlier albums - PCL, Low-life, Technique - back to back to do get a sense of unit that neither Movement nor anything post-Technique is able to give. It's almost if those three albums are THE actual NO stuff and everything else is, er, derivative. Know what I mean?

I'm trying to explain, by the way, how I think Technique is their greatest period without its necessarily being their best album - I do agree with Al, Low-life, for one, is more daring than that. But I also think Technique is what NO wanted Brotherhood to be but it wasn't. By the way, I didn't forget Brotherhood before, it just slipped my mind when I was writing. (Freudian slip if you like.)

It's an average album. Decent though.

To anyone who thinks it's the best thing they have ever done, I require an explanation.

To me, it's their best album. Can't really explain. It's just that All The Way and Dream Attack are 2 tracks that touched me more than any other song by NO. And they are my favourite band. And these 2 track just make this album so special.

i missed this poll whe it first came out. so dream attack it is.
